Sir
New York May 1 st 1818
I know Abraham Garrison he was a soldier in the third New York regiment of which I was Lieutenant Colonel - I think Major Leonard Blechner certificate sufficient to entitle him to pension - Garrison was a steady faithful soldier and if I am not misinformed is well known in the neighbourhood where he at present resides and it appears to me unnecessary trouble is required in his case, soldiers not as well known nor as decent men as Garrison have to my knowledge been admitted as pensioners and properly I conceive - It is desirable that the Magistrates to whom this trust is committed would not cause the few poor old soldiers who remain put to unnecessary trouble -
I am Sir,
Your humble
servant
